Emberflame Ridge Breaking News

Raleska looked dumbfounded, for any observer keen enough to see the confusion that swirled in her gaze. Inwardly, she wrestled with what to do. She knew she had to look for her mother -- it was not like her to be gone this long, and it was not at all like the matriarch of the sound to not return. On the other hand, Raleska knew Caiaphas' vision of their future extended far beyond her own mortal usefulness -- she would likely be furious to hear that Rusalka was left vulnerable by her daughter's harebrained search party.

She flinched, drawn from the wrestling of her thoughts. Looking to @Kaertok, Raleska -- perhaps for the first time in her life -- sought the perspective of another. "What do you think?"

She hated the idea of leaving Caiaphas to die, if she was out there -- if she was not already killed.. but she hated the idea of Rusalka going to Drageda scum even more; the very thought caused her fur to bristle and her tail to lash.. and it was clear she had already made up her mind before she even finished talking.
